OK, my ride is coming in 2 hours to pick me up and take me to the airport.

Here’s a fun fact: I wear contact lenses. I’m going to be in PAIN tomorrow because I’m not allowed to take contact lens solution on the plane, and my flight lands too late for me to pragmatically pick some up at a drug store.

Anyway, here’s another fun fact: I desperately need a MacBook now. I’m needlessly taking two computers with me on this trip!

Okay, okay. Here are the Official Author Appearances this weekend:
Saturday: Vloggercue from noon until whenever.
Saturday night: Party at the Royale Bar and Grill, after-dinner.

Sunday: Brunch at Bob Evans, 6528 South Lindbergh, 11 AM until about 1 PM.

I’ll post later about the Monday-Tuesday Chicago plans!

Pens contain ink. Which is, technically, a liquid. Liquids are banned on flights (including contact lens solution and eye drops– an absurdity beyond remorse).

Meanwhile, a mechanical pencil typically has sharp metal moving parts to it (at least mine do– the leads last longer that way).

I can see it now: we’re only going to be allowed blunt golf pencils. Issued at the gate.

How the hell am I supposed to be able to Sudoku tomorrow!??!?
